Youths to petition JB on Bingu’s K61bn
Some of the country’s youths have resolved to petition Malawi President Joyce Banda to push for action over the K61 billion (about $152m) wealth said to have been accumulated by the former president late Bingu wa Mutharika.
This follows an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) in Lilongwe at the weekend where they raised several concerns, including that poverty and underdevelopment were due to weak systems that lead to abuse, misuse and underutilisation of resources.
Youth Consultative Forum (YFC) national coordinator Edward Chileka-Banda said in an interview following the communiqué that the youth are mainly concerned about high levels of corruption and continued lack of good governance.
“We want to petition government on emerging issues such as corruption and lack of good governance. We would want to present these issues to the President,” said Chileka-Banda.
He said participants felt that the country was not making any progress in the fight against corruption as well as on governance issues.
“Two of the major issues the youth were concerned about are the K61 billion that is said to have been accumulated by the former president and also the (K1.7 billion) corruption case involving Bakili Muluzi,” added Chileka-Banda.
He said the youth have drawn a plan of action on several matters and will be meeting various authorities on the issues raised.
Chileka-Banda said the youth will also be meeting the Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) to also present elections-related issues raised during the meeting.
“Delegates to the EGM recommended that no youth and youth groups shall be used to perpetrate elections-related violence and intimidation against rival contenders and those stakeholders shall play according to the ‘rules of the game’ guiding elections,” reads part of the resolutions from the EGM.
These youths are myopic! Did they not read what Malawi Law Society said that Bingu’s wealth was inflated deliberately? – LAW SOCIETY: BINGU’S WEALTH OVERBLOWN – According to MLS, Mutharika had put some of the property under several trusts some of which are public trusts that are for the benefit of Malawians. “According to the law what this means is that the property was disposed of inter vivos [while he was still alive] and could not therefore have been disposed of again at death, as it became the trusts’ property the minute it was given to the trust. As such all the property that is under the trust does not form part of the deceased estate”, Kilembe explained. The DAILY TIMES, Monday, July 15, 2013, page 3
Wautsiru ndiweyo kaya umazitcha GWA kaya Mlomwe fotseki. Ndalama zimene amaika ku Trust zimachokera kutiko? Zakuba basi. Anthu opusa ngati inu musamayankhuleko ngati simdziwa malamulo mwamva. MLS is a bunch of shit like you. The point is Bingu and Peter Mathanyula stole public money and as concerned Malawians we have to be sad wabout it. Mutu wanu sugwira eti. Kudos to the youch! Mxxiiew.
how dare you calling apeerson that is mlomwe or tumbuka or yao? think this will solve the vuto ?
alright you pple who are thinking to stage apetition to whom that letter is going ? and who eat the money ?
think JB will do What? it was Bingu who eat the money so you think that we can take to court malemu ? this time is for us to look a heard and put some measures that in fture no president will eat money again
and the issue of calling names the dead person for a true Malawian simkhalidwe wathu
let us take Muluzi to court not the dead BIngu
Well done (YFC) It is high time we “the youth” started taking some positive action Instead of being manipulated
to perpetrate violence against those opposing the sitting government. Ino ndi nthawi yathu tiyeni tikonze tsogolo lathu
